The 2018 Socky Awards are underway, and this year you are a part of it.
Welcome to the annual presentation ceremony of The Syndicate's coveted Socky Awards. For those not already in the know, the term "sock" is derived from site founder M Plus 7 (formerly MovingPictures07), who has some strange and unhealthy obsession with this particular article of clothing. We dedicate these grand golden socks in his honor. I certainly hope you have all come dressed appropriately for the fanfare and fame associated with this ceremony. You can be certain that your attire will be assessed thoroughly and critically in every entertainment publication across the Mafia nation. I won't have this institution embarrassed by running sneakers or tacky goatees.
RULES AND GUIDELINES (Please click the spoiler and familiarize yourself)
The most important rule in Mafia
Be a good sport. This means that you should expect healthy and engaging competition, but you should also treat all players with respect and dignity. This is a game.
Questions for the host
Please direct all questions to me by personal message. I prefer to avoid all opportunities for host influence upon the direction of a game or its discussion as possible, and this is one way in which I limit that. If I feel a question is pertinent to everyone, I will then answer it publicly. Do not discuss any private interactions with the host in the game thread.
Other rules
~ No angleshooting (using specific role card language to hunt, playing against the host instead of each other, or other similar loophole crap).
~ Role claiming and information revealing are legal.
~ All players win with their factions, dead or alive, assuming minimum participation guidelines are respected.
~ No strict participation requirements are set, but I will be keeping tabs on this. Please do your best to consistently post in the game thread at least a couple of times per cycle. If I feel this isn't happening I will pursue replacements. If I cannot find replacements quickly, I am not against eliminating roles myself (modkills). There are no requirements or obligations to place votes. I will measure participation by post content, not by votes. Indeed, if a player simply votes but does not make posts, I will deem that to be non-participation.
~ Voting will be plurality-based with no majority or hammer votes at any time.
~ You are not required to call your votes in the thread if you don't want to.
~ No editing or deleting of posts in the game thread.
~ Dead players should post in the {Dead} Red if they are posting in the game thread. If you do post as a dead player, I insist that you ensure what you say cannot possibly affect the game in any way -- even the most innocuous off-topic things have that potential so please be careful. Talking about your lunch salad is okay. Rez pls is fine in isolation.
~ Non-Players should similarly post in {Non-Player} Blue if they are posting in the game thread.
~ Living players wishing to discuss something off-topic should do so in {Off-Topic} Green.
Game cycles
~ The game will operate in 48 hour cycles, consisting of 24 hour day phases and 24 hour night phases.
~ We will begin with an elongated 30-36ish hour Day 0.
~ I will try my best to maintain end-of-phase deadlines at approximately 8:00 PM EST.
GAME FACILITATOR
